Graphics and animations were very good and the concept is interesting. There doesn't seem to be enough boxes however and the gun is a bit too powerful (unlimited ammo, infinite range). Very good start, with some gameplay changes it could be even better.

It was fun to run around and shoot the snowmen, but I wasn't able to push the crates around, at least on the web player. If I tried to push them, I just moved through them. I also think you could've done with playing the snowman audio clip once a wave or less, it was a bit spammy as it was :P

Good concept, and the visuals are well done. Those droopy, melting snowmen are animated nicely. I could never get a box positioned before getting overwhelmed. The player might move a little bit fast. Fun simple game.

The benefits of pushing the crates around didn't seem worth it. I had fun blasting the snowmen anyway though, a lot more fun to focus on that to get a decent score. The turrets were a nice feature also. Good graphics and concept, nice work guys.

The environment looks cool, it's pretty detailed, that's good. After a few seconds of playing I saw that you and the snowmen are able to walk across the tables. This didn't feel really well, since it looks like there is no collision. Then I saw the snowmen being held back by walls and realised, "ooooh, they move OVER the table", and that's pretty cool!

The gameplay is pretty simple, a few power-ups would have been great. Would have made the game more interactive. The snowman sound is great, love it, as well as the way the dig up from the ground. :)

The crate pushing mechanic wasn't great, but if you look past that, it's like one of the old classic zombie shooters with snowmen. (so hey, you got the snowman theme in there too.) It was pretty fun to play for a while but got boring quickly, and the environment was fairly limited. There was a total of one sound effect and no music. Fixing the crate pushing could have made this a lot more fun (some sort of lock-on to the side of crates, TLoZ:OoT style would do)

Really nice game and some serious character animations done for a jam! I really like you could hold and shoot, but it was a bit hard to see the shots, and maybe they should have been themed to fit with the snowmen. But that's really a minor detail.

What made me give up was that the box shoving felt unnecessarily difficult. I would have opted for a much wider box collider that only collided with the boxes one were supposed to push around.

Loved the graphics. One of the best games to sneak snowmen in that I've played so far.

Could use some balance tweaks as it's really difficult - maybe have the snowmen come in waves of increasing difficulty to give the player some time to ramp up?

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.

NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.

PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.

MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.

MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
